Colonel Ronald L. Bowman ComntJssioner

Members of the General Assembly Citizens of Georgia

Please accept for your review the 1990 Department of Public Safety Annual Report, a summary of public safety activities for calendar year 1990, and a recap summary of traffic accident experience across Georgia.

There were 1,564 traffic deaths recorded during the year, a 4.2 percent decrease from the 1,632 in 1989. The downward trend was consistent with a decrease in the estimated motor vehicle mileage traveled.

But while traffic fatalities decrease, we must remain focused to the causes and work toward a common goal of making motor vehicle travel safer for all motorists. In order to accomplish this goal, we must continue our efforts to take the drinking driver off the roadways and work even harder to promote safety equipment use while traveling.

The coming years will present the greatest challenges ever as more vehicles are registered and more licensed drivers tt.3.vel in the state. The men and women of the Georgia Department of Public Safety stand ready to meet those challenges in the most economic and efficient manner while serving with pride the citizens of Georgia.

Ronald L. Bowman, Colonel Commissioner

Zell Miller GOVERNOR

STATE OF GEORGIA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

ATLANTA 30334-0900

To: Members of the Georgia Department of Public Safety:

It is my sincere pleasure to congratulate each of you for a job well done. The new decade will bring many challenges and the work each of you has performed will better enable you to meet the new tasks.

One area which concerns me greatly is the drinking driver. During 1990, the number of DUI-related fatal accidents climbed to 598, only 18 short of a ten-year high. Another area of concern is the number of motorists who travel the roadways of Georgia without wearing a seat belt. Traffic statistics have proven the benefits of safety equipment use.

I challenge each of you to make removing the drmking driver from the roadway and enforcing Georgia's seat belt law top priorities as you patrol throughout Georgia.

With kindest regards, I remain

Sincerely,

ZM/k11

Executive Summary The Georgia Department of Public Safety logged

another near normal year in 1990. The year began, much as in recent preceding years, with a series of security details in and around Atlanta. Aside from a brief shouting match between a contingent of Ku Klux Klan members and counter-protesters at one detail, the demonstrations were peaceful.

In March, 52 cadets graduated from the 64th Georgia State Patrol Trooper School at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth. The 64th School was the single largest school ever conducted. Another first for the class was the "patrol-ready" distinction. Members of the class received their patrol vehicles and equipment on the eve of graduation, thus enabling them to report to their duty stations from the Training Center.

The nation's first "built-from-the-ground-up" Commercial Drivers License testing facility was dedicated in June during a ceremony at the facility in Milledgeville. Georgia had already become one of the first states in the nation to begin issuance of the federally-mandated commercial license, having cleared the final barrier to full implementation in early 1990. Georgia was one of six states eligible for the bulk of federal funds available to states conducting testing and issuance. As part of the CDL program, the first of three Georgia Licensing on Wheels (GLOW) mobiles was added to the fleet. The unit, a 1976 bus which had served as the department's mobile communications command center, is initially being used for remote CDL testing with future utilization anticipated where new industry is locating within the state.

The Georgia State Patrol received more than $25,000 in seized asset funds from one incident under the Asset Forfeiture Fund Equitable Sharing Program. The program allows state and local law enforcement agencies to receive a percentage of property and currency forfeited in administrative or judicial proceedings filed as the result of a criminal prosecution. The prosecution stemmed from the work of troopers in the drug interdiction program. The interdiction program, initiated in 1985, has resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs valued into the millions of dollars from Georgia's roadways.

The ranks of the Georgia State Patrol lost two veteran troopers in 1990. Lieutenant M.G. Moss, assistant troop commander of Troop C, died suddenly on May 21, and TFC L.F. Peebles died on July 27 after an extended illness.

At the annual DPS Awards Program in May, 85 DPS employees were honored for accomplishments during 1989. TFC J.E. Kennedy (Post 18, Reidsville) and Mr. Jimmy Crump (HO, Garage) were reCipients of the employee of the year awards.

The year also marked the implementation of a program where residents of the state who have had their driver license suspended for insurance-related problems may apply for reinstatement at all GSP posts. Motorists also are able to obtain a copy of their motor vehicle report from their local patrol post.

The GSP Aviation Unit logged more than 1300 flight hours devoted to the Governor's Task Force on Drug Suppression. Aerial surveillance resulted in more than 180-million dollars in illegal drugs being confiscated and destroyed during the year.

The public rider education and training program exceeded its 1990 projected student enrollment estimate. With operation of a mobile training unit and fixed training sites in Americus, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Dalton, Macon, Savannah, St. Marys, Tifton, Valdosta and Winder, student enrollment grew to 1,064.

The Motorcycle Safety Unit also conducts instructor training (certification) courses across the state. The instructor course, like most other course offerings, is conducted on evenings and weekends and focuses on teaching experienced Georgia motorcyclists how to teach the various curricula. Additional instructor certification

training has become reality as instructors attend annual refresher training, becoming both Experienced Rider Course and scooter certified and maintaining basic first aid and CPR certification.

The motorist awareness aspect of the program continued with a Capitol Ride-In, a bumper sticker campaign, as well as several proclamation/resolution signings. May was established as "Motorcycle Awareness and You Month," with Georgia joining more than 12 other states and Canada in the campaign.

The motorcycle licensing improvement effort resulted in receipt of the Motorcycle Safety

Legal Services

The Legal Services Office provides clarification and interpretation of traffic and criminal laws tor members of the Department of Public Safety. The office is responsible for the publication and distribution of the DPS Policy Manual and ensures that department policy does not conflict with existing state laws.

The office also monitors changes in state and federal law and determines the impact the changes will have on the department.

Foundation's top licensing award for the year. A combined effort on the part of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, the Driver Services Division and the Motorcycle Safety Unit provided implementation of the latest state-of-the-art electronic skill/road testing, a major revision of the motorcycle licensing requirements and of annual certified motorcycle examiner training.

The license waiver program resulted in various major changes in the Motorcycle Safety Unit's operation including centralized course, student and instructor scheduling, centralized completion card issuance and ongoing course monitoring.

Planning And Research

As a staff-oriented function, Planning and Research routinely develops and proposes plans for both immediate problem resolution and long-range goals of the Department. The office also reviews the effectiveness of many on-going programs. In addition, the office provides statistical and analytical support as needed by the Commissioner and his staff, the drafting of correspondence or studies which require supportive research, and other duties.

As Grants Management Office, we also seek and administer federal funds for Departmental programs. As the Emergency Coordinator, we represent the Department with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA). We are also the point of contact for studying the impact of the 1996 Olympics.

In 1990, Planning and Research was assigned 263 projects. Of that number, 227 were completed, 14 were discontinued, threti were transferred to other offices for completion, three are presently being evaluated or pending feedback, and 16 are presently being addressed by the office. We are also working on seven additional projects which were assigned prior to 1990.

Some examples of the projects completed in 1990 are: developed comparative study of salaries and number of troopers in several other states; coordinated psychological testing of employees; assisting with development of uniform policy concerning use of wreckers; developing a ticket accountability system for the Department; and conducted two management review studies.

Office of Public Affairs

Charged with the responsibility of being the conduit of information to the media and the department, the Office of Public Affairs produced news releases related to traffic safety, holiday accident forecasts and employee accomplishments during 1990.

News media inquiries were handled by the office, either directly or by referral to the appropriate office.

Day-to-day activities of the Department of Public Safety were reported through The Bulletin while the newsletter, The Blue Line, provided in-depth news stories relating to the DPS and its members. All departmental photos were processed by the Photo Lab, and the Graphics Unit provided layouts, designs and typesetting for most departmental publications.

Permit Section Permits Issued - 1990

The Permit Section of the Department of Public Safety governs the statewide issuance of all racetrack licenses, emergency light certifications (amber, red and blue), wholesale/retail firearm licenses, speed detection device permits, and exemptions to the tinted window law.

Racetracks in Georgia are required to be licensed with the Department of Public Safety in addition to State Fire Marshal's regulations. This annual license is valid through the calendar year, expiring the last day of each year.

Special Operations consists of Safety Education, the Implied Consent Unit and the Emission Inspection Unit.

The Implied Consent Unit has a staff of nine uniform troopers who are responsible for the training of intoximeter operators and the maintenance of the breath testing program for the state.

During 1990, the Implied Consent Unit conducted 18 basic intoximeter classes and 60 refresher classes. In addition, the unit responded to 398 calls to assist city, county and state agencies with their breath testing program.

The Emission Inspection Unit of the Georgia State Patrol continued to experience an increase in inspection stations and mechanic inspectors. The four counties that are presently under the emissions program consisted of 584 permanent stations, 55 fleet stations and 120 temporary stations for a total of 759 stations and some 3,000 mechanic inspectors.

Among the daily inspection of stations by troopers, there were 373 separate covert operations resulting in 129 suspensions and 128 probations. Of the covert operations, only 85 were completed according to proper procedures supporting the need for continued and increased covert activities.

The automobile emissions program involving the Department of Public Safety continues to operate extremely well with a very high rating from the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

Georgia State Patrol Division

Special Operations

Safety Education continues to play an integral role in the patrol's overall mission of reducing accidents, injuries and fatalities on the state's highways.

Efforts continue through the Alcohol and Drug, Awareness Program to inform younger drivers

. of the perils of driving while intoxicated. Approximately 120,000 students are reached annually by this mandated effort

At right, TFC E.M. Hays conducts an Alcohol and Drug Awareness class.

and the Safety Education Unit has the responsibilities of managing and coordinating the program.

Safety Education continues to provide instruction and assistance to the public in other critical areas of traffic safety. Defensive driving classes, bicycle safety rodeos, seat belt and child restraint programs, and DUI classes for older drivers were primary in the unit's efforts.

GSP Airwing

The Georgia State Patrol Airwing consists of 13 pilots, 4 mechanics and civilian support personnel. Six hangars are geographically located throughout the state with headquarters at Fulton County Airport in Atlanta. These facilities are staffed with one or two pilots and equipped with both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

The Airwing continues to provide aircraft support to all federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout Georgia.

Airwing pilots and aircraft continue to support the Governor's Drug Task Force which confiscated

and destroyed $184,633,600.00 in illegal drugs through aerial observation and surveillance by the pilots.

The Airwing logged more than 3209.83 flight hours during 1990 with 1312.70 flight hours devoted to the drug task force and 1896.95 hours for GSP and other law enforcement agencies on special details (civil disorder, robberies, escapes, etc.).

Video cameras, installed in the GSP helicopters, are proving to be a valuable tool in supporting court cases involving aircraft observations.

License Issuance

1990 was the advent of several programs in License Issuance and the continuance of others. Two mobile units, "Georgia Licensing on Wheels" (GLOW), were obtained. One unit was reconditioned from the department's old mobile communications command post bus while the other was procured new. No state funds were used in this effort. The GLOW units are equipped with state-of-the-art testing equipment and used to administer CDL and other testing at remote locations.

A new testing facility at Milledgeville was opened and dedicated in June. Located on 17 acres deeded from another state agency, the new building boasts a 3,800 square foot building procured through a $25,000 donation from the City of Milledgeville, a $25,000 donation from Baldwin County, and

the remainder from state funds. The Milledgeville site is the only site in Georgia designed to administer all testing, knowledge and skills, for both commercial and non-commercial driver licenses. This is the first such site in the United States.

State-of-the-art testing equipment was installed at the license facilities in Decatur, Marietta and Milledgeville on a pilot test. The equipment has proved quite successful, reducing the waiting time for applicants almost 50 percent.

Georgia has continued its efforts in the eye and organ donor programs. Working closely with the organ donor foundations, we have attempted to educate the license applicants about the programs. More than 42,000 Georgia residents registered as donors during 1990 as a result of our program.

Process Section

The Process Section was established May 1, 1987, as a part of the Driver Services Division for the purpose of serving no fault insurance pick-up orders. This relieves trooper from the task and provides more time for assigned patrol duties.

There are 16 process officers statewide as eight are assigned to the Atlanta area and one eactl to posts in Marietta, Hapeville, Macon, Lawrenceville, Columbus, Gainesville and Savannah.

During 1990, the Process Section received 36,907 pick-up orders and 34,721 were cleared through either actual service on the individual or by determining that the person was unable to be located either by moving or giving an improper address.

License Processing Uni~,

The License Processing Unit is responsible for quality control and delivery of drivers' licenses and identification cards. In 1990, the unit prepared approximately 1,635,755 licenses and ID cards.

During this procedure, about 25,000 licenses were pulled due to suspension, revocation or cancellation. About 30,000 licenses were found to be flawed and retake letters were issued.

Some 60,000 telephone calls were handled regarding unclaimed licenses and retakes. Undeliverable or unclaimed licenses and ID cards returned by the postal service totaled 18,100.

22

Fraudulent license Unit

The Fraudulent License Unit was established in 1990 to combat the growing incidence of fraudulent licensing. There were 267 cases of fraud reported during the year with 220 being cleared by the Unit. Most cases involved family members obtaining licenses in another family member's name, to avoid fines and/or suspensions.

Commercial Driver License Unit

The Commercial Driver License Unit is responsible for receiving and processing applications for Commercial Driver Licenses (CD L) and for oversight of the CDL licensing system. During 1990, in addition to coordinating with the state driver examiners and providing information to the public regarding the program, the CDL Unit had the following activity:

Post 57 (Military Issuance)

Post 57 issues all licenses to military personnel and dependents stationed outside Georgia and to full-time students attending a college or university in another state. There were 3,264 such licenses issued in 1990.

The statewide handicapped parking permit files are maintained in Post 57. There are 38,037 entries in this file. During 1990, Post 57 issued 1,041 handicapped parking permits.

Court Liaison Officer

The Court Liaison Officer visited 339 of Georgia's 903 courts that adjudicate traffic offenses. The purpose of these visits is to provide coordination between the courts and the Department to insure proper reporting of traffic convictions, thereby enhancing accurate driving records.

The School Bus Safety Unit is responsible for safety training for school bus transportation and oversight and monitoring of the 75 defensive driver improvement schools and the 204 COL Third Party Testing locations.

Each year, the unit provides safety instructor training to bus driver instructor/trainers in the 186 city and county school systems to assist them as they train their system's drivers on safety laws and regulations and on safe school bus operation.

The unit conducts three basic and three advanced instructor courses. Additionally, members of the unit provide safety information to over 4,000 drivers during personal appearances at institutes and mini-institutes throughout the state.

School Bus Safety

In May and June of each year, district bus driver "road-e-o's" are conducted to select winners to compete in the state competition. State winners then compete in the national road-e-o.

Driver Improvement/Heat'ing Section

This section held 1,795 hearings under the Georgia Administrative Procedures Act and 2,364 administrative rulings regarding the suspensions, cancellations and revocations of driver licenses in 1990.

The computation of decisions rendered by this section can be broken down to 2,774 hearings where the decision wa£ rendered to uphold the action taken by the department; 1,022 were withdrawn based on evidence or testimony given at the hearing; and seven were withdrawn by agency reviews.

- -24

During this period, 52 agency reviews were held. Of that number, 50 were in relation to the Implied Consent Act and two were held on other administrative suspensions.

This section also processes the appeals of implied consent suspensions where the licensee wishes the courts to review the action of the department. In providing this function, 24 transcripts were completed and 15 appeals were processed.

The 1990 Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 663 which transferred the alcohol

portion of the Driver Improvement program to the Department of Human Resources on July 1, 1990. The Driver Improvement Section is now responsible for 75 defensive driving clinics and 27 driver training schools throughout the state. In 1990, one instructor's license was suspended and one canceled. Four clinics were suspended and two fined. Sixty new instructors were licensed. The School Bus Safety U nit is responsible for monitoring and inspecting all driver improvement clinics.

Troop L (Driver License)

Troop L includes all driver license facilities and the Process Section in Georgia. Troop L is divided into 11 regions with 57 license facilities. There are 251 license examiners, several clerk typists and 16 process officers.

During 1990, Troop L underwent many improvements and changes. The first commercial driver license facility was opened in Milledgeville as the CDL program was initiated.

State of the art automated testing equipment was installed at Marietta, Milledgeville and Decatur license facilities.

The eye donor program in cooperation with the Georgia Lions Eye Bank noted a dramatic increase as donations escalated from 8,390 in 1989 to 42,276 in 1990.

A new motorcycle testing program was enacted during the year and includes 28 testing sites.

Georgia was one of the first states to enact the Certified Examiner Program. In 1990, 70 new examiners were certified and 60 were re-certified.

Computers were added to license facilities in Decatur, Marietta, Albany, Lawrenceville and Dalton providing a link with Immigration and Naturalization Services.

Plans began in 1990 to establish COL sites in Dalton, Gainesville and Tifton.

An addition to the building in Statesboro was completed in 1990 which almost doubled the size of the building. A new building at the Thomson testing facility is nearing completion. Renovation began in Albany to expand the office area to accommodate six effective workstations. A new office was completed for Savannah and land was acquired for a new license office in Hinesville.

Revocation and Suspension Section

The No Fault Insurance Unit was combined with Revocation and Suspension Processing this year, creating the Revocation and Suspension Section under the supervision of Captain Robert Hightower.

The Section consists of eight units with distinct responsibilities.

The Telephone Information Unit responds to incoming calls concerning all aspects of the Department, especially those regarding driver licenses. Each operator responds to 38,000 to 40,000 calls each year, or 160 to 180 calls a day. Most calls are concern the suspension, revocation, cancellation or issuance of a driver license.

The Walk-In Reinstatement Unit provides personal service to people who appear at DPS Headquarters concerning any problem they may have regarding either a suspension, revocation or

cancellation of their driving privileges. During 1990, this unit reviewed and processed approximately 80,048 documents relating to the reinstatement of driving privileges. Also, this unit has the capacity to microfilm documents, receipt money and withdraw suspensions, revocations and cancellations instantaneously with online capabilities.

The Habitual Violator Unit is responsible for mailing all habitual violator revocation and cancellation orders by certified mail. There were 18,096 habitual violator orders mailed and 4,035 license pick-up orders issued in 1990. The unit is also responsible for entering court ordered corrections on habitual violator records. And, some 8,650 motor vehicle records were certified to be true and accurate in an effort to assist the courts in the prosecution of habitual violators charged with driving after being declared and served as an habitual violator.

The Medical Advisory Unit processes information received from persons in the medical or law enforcement fields or mental ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. As a result of investigation of this information, 811 new cases were established and 444 revocation orders were issued.

Revocation and Suspension Processing Unit is responsible for mailing suspension and cancellation orders. Of the 128,540 orders mailed by the unit, 37,013 were by certified mail. Of the certified mail orders, 13,656 were returned. This unit processes limited driving permit applications, corrections of driving records, and maintains records of money depOSits made daily to this unit's lockbox. It also processes documents concerning the withdrawal of suspensions or cancellations and withdrew approximately 123,000 suspensions or cancellations during 1990.

The No Fault Insurance Unit is responsible for processing insurance cancellation information received from insurance companies on cancellation of coverage for vehicles registered in the state. The unit mails all orders relating to insurance cancellations or conviction reports received from the courts on individuals operating a motor vehicle without insurance. This unit also reviews and processes documents concerning the withdrawal of insurance suspensions or cancellation and processes information to be submitted to the Attorney General's Office relating to cases on appeal.

Division Director

The Computer Services Section is composed of th ree units: Data Central, the Personal Computer Group, and the Application Support/RJE Unit.

The Data Central Unit is responsible for the keypunching of data from accident reports, traffic citations, driver license applications, motor vehicle records, insurance cancellation reports that are not reported in magnetic tape, and other miscellaneous data.

Another function is entering data on-line to reinstate suspended and revoked d~ver licenses.

Non-matching dispositions are researched in this office to insure that all arrests are added to the correct driver records.

Computer Services

The Personal Computer Group coordinates software and hardware purchases, training on PC use, and program development for PC users.

Close scrutiny of user needs and departmental goals, as set forth by the Department's EDP Committee, has enabled our continuing EDP operations and providing important advances in systems and hardware.

Typical of these advances were the replacement of the last 22 Georgia State Patrol network terminals with the new ICrimeBuster" terminals and providing assistance with the development and installation of a sub-system to process immigration green cards at four driver license locations. The unit also provided operator training on all major systems for departmental personnel and special training for the FBI.

Personnel

The primary responsibility of th e Application SupportlRJE Unit is transmitting all batch data processed by Driver Services and Accident Reporting to the DOAS mainframe.

Other responsibilities include all programming that is required on the Nixdorf Data Entry Systems, maintaining monthly activity reports for statistical information and exchanging National Driver Registry data with Washington on a daily basis.

The Georgia General Assembly authorized the Georgia Net Authority allowing all MVR tape users to transmit and receive driving records directly through the driver license mainframe ma:iltained by DOAS.

The unit also printed 53,547 alcohol/drug certificates for Safety Education and processed DU I convictions to be added to the driver license database.

Page 33: 1990 Annual Report ;eorgia Department of Public Safety

Training

The Training Section of the Georgia State Patrol continues to be a proactive unit, aggressively pursuing training opportunities for all personnel.

The 64th GSP Trooper School graduated 52 "street ready" troopers on March 2. This was the largest graduating class since the organization of the Patrol.

In July, the Training Section launched a comprehensive physical fitness and in-service training program. This is a department-wide program that is mandated by policy, as well as Peace Officers Standards and Training. The program far exceeds the minimum requirements established by law and is the beginning of a healthier and more physically fit Georgia State Patrol.

In addition to these activities, 60 advanced and specialized training programs were coordinated throughout the year and were attended by 388 troopers.

&

32

Civilian employees were also afforded additional training programs. A total of 144 employees attended 12 various schools.

Everyone within the department attended a "Drug-Free Workplace" seminar.

Accident Reporting

The Accident Reporting Section is responsible for the collection of accident forms received from the Georgia State Patrol and all other law enforcement agencies in the state. Reports are microfilmed and retained for a ten-year period.

Employees process over 20,000 accident reports a month, and from these reports detailed statistical summaries of traffic accidents are prepared.

The Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS), a federal project in Accident Reporting, reports detailed information on fatal accidents to Washington, DC.

Personnel

The Personnel Office is responsible for all personnel related activity for the Department of Public Safety and its attached agencies.

Announcements for all vacancies are made by Personnel and all applicant and employee interviewing is completed here. Appointments are made for polygraphs and the polygraph results are reviewed before a decision is made.

During 1990, the Personnel Office assumed responsibility for issuing background investigations for radio operator, driver examiner, process server and trooper applicants. The progress of the background is monitored and the results reviewed by this office before an applicant is considered for employment.

For most of the year, the Department was under a hiring freeze which severely curtailed the employment process. The office continued to process applicants to provide a pool of qualified applicants when funds are available.

The Personnel Office administers the leave programs, Flexible Benefits and Health Benefits Programs. Faithful Service Awards, warrants and commissions for employees are also prepared in the Personnel Office.
